The Vikings will have their hands full against Minnesota native and Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The 33-year-old receiver is still producing. On the season, he has 68 catches for 686 yards and five touchdowns. Last season, he had 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns.

“He’s a great competitor. He’s tough. He has great physicality,” Zimmer said, according to the Star Tribune. “I’m amazed at the number of times he goes in there and blocks and gets wrapped up and hit and all that. His stamina is so great to be able to continue to play.”

Fitzgerald can line up in the slot or on the outside and is probably the best blocking receiver in the NFL.

Fitzgerald is a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame, having 1,068 receptions for 14,052 yards and 103 touchdowns.

This is a game where the Vikings could use slot corner Captain Munnerlyn, who was limited in practice on Thursday.
